Price History
Description
Designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930, the Bestlite Collection has become an enduring contemporary classic. Revered for its sophisticated form, the BL6 Wall Light best exemplifies the collection's Bauhaus sensibilities. Melding form and function, the lamp has a flexible arm and a rotatable shade for you to direct the light wherever you need. Casting a soft diffused light, the lamp works both as a reading light and as a source of ambience.
Our Stylist Says
I love how this wall lamp adds a touch of timeless industrial elegance to a space. Its chrome base and shade give it a sleek, modern edge, making it versatile enough for both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. It works especially well in minimalist schemes, home offices, or beside beds for functional yet stylish task lighting. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple, uncluttered surfaces or combining it with other chrome or matte black accents for a cohesive look. Its adjustable arm means you can direct light exactly where needed, making it a flexible addition to various room types.

A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
